Recommended Posts

I haven't had a period for two years. Sleeved on May 8th, 32 lbs down and suddenly I have my period. Not just spotting...full blown, had to go to the store immediately, gushing. WTF is happening???

Did this happen to anyone else?

WoW! I'm 35 and haven't had my period in 10 years (since I had cancer). It would be so cool if it cam back n I could have another baby :)

I'm 49 so beyond child bearing days. I'm sorry for your cancer. I had a bout with cervical cancer, but it was caught in the very early stages. Had 3 babies, and I thank God for them every day.

The surgery and losing weight causes your hormones to go all out of whack. Your body is currently being flooded with estrogen among other things so I'm guessing that has something to do with the recurrence of your TOM. :wacko:

You need to see your GYN asap. Post menopausal bleeding is cause for concern to rule out possibilities such as ovarian cancer.

Not trying to alarm you but better to have it checked out.

When I first started this process I went to the OBGYN for my appointment. I hadn't taken the pill in 2 years, hoping to stop my periods. She refused to give me the pill stating that "probably" would not get pregnant at my age. Then I told her I was getting the surgery, and she started writing the prescription for the pill. I'm like what? She said, you lose a ton of weight then pop out an egg, get pregnant and come up here and shoot me... you are getting the pill!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
